Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Using Max’s daughter as bait, Jack and Harry convince Max to meet face to face. Stranded in the jungle, Marcus stumbles across a prisoner camp. Greer visits Gloria hoping to draw a connection between Reyes and her missing husband.
Our Take
This is a tense hour that finally gets Jack and Max in the same room, and their cat-and-mouse exchange is the best stuff here, crackling with mutual distrust. Marcus’s storyline picks up steam with a genuinely unsettling discovery in the jungle. The Gloria subplot drags a bit by comparison, but the pacing mostly holds. A solid middle-of-the-season episode that moves pieces into place without feeling like filler.
